Gotta be honest

Okay so I've come to a realization. As I mentioned on the first day I went grocery shopping and I got mostly healthy stuff and some "healthy junk" for when I was tired of being so strictly paleo. Well, after yesterday I don't think that is a good idea either. Since it was my first full weekend off in a while and Friday I was doing so many errands that it didn't feel like a day off, yesterday I didn't go anywhere. I mean I didn't even leave the apartment to check the mail or anything. And I'm honestly okay with that because I'm naturally an introvert and sometimes I just need some me time to recharge. However, what I also noticed is that all day yesterday I only ate the "healthy junk" food and an apple. While most people probably wouldn't consider it too bad, the fact that the cereal had too much sugar for someone who wasn't doing much moving. And the organic natural cut french fries, though baked in an oven and not fried, are still starches that convert straight to sugar. And I can see my self simply substituting fast food with other quick junk food which doesn't really help push me toward the healthy, more slim future that I'm trying to create. I have to be honest with myself. So the only real non paleo food items that I have is a loaf of Ezekiel raisin bread. When that runs out, I don't think that I'm going to buy anymore non paleo items until after the 90 days. I know 90 days isn't a magic number of days to cure all problems, but I'm really hoping that after it's over I will have a new mentality toward my relationship with food. Then maybe I can have "healthy junk food" here or there and not make it the only food that I eat on a given day.
